F. H. Anderson, the new court stenographer for this district, was at his post. as was Solictor- Bonham. Judge Mauldin presides with grace and dignity. His charges are clear, unbiased and to the- point. and it is safe to predict that by the time hehas completed the rounds of the circuits of the state he will be one of the most popular judges-presiding over any court. A good many people were present opening day. Probably the case which at tracted most attention is that of the State vs. L. L. Hendricks. charged with the murder of Henry Brock. This ca-e was continued, as Judge Mauldin is disqualified from presiding over its trial, he being distantly re lated to the Brock family. This case will come up at the next term of court here. The case of the State vs. Mar shall ^ Summey, a 15-year-old boy, charged with killing Dewey Dobson, a 14-year-old bov, came ..up Monday and it was thought would be disposed of in a short time, as it was generally, sup posed that the killing was an accident, but the testimony took a rather sensational turn and the case developed into a legal battle of some proportions be tween Solicitor -Bonham for the State and Carey & Carey for the defense. After being out l1 hrs. the jury said not guilty. Mull court proceedings will be given in The Sentinel next week. Presentment of Grand Jury To the Hon. T. J.

The crash occurred not for from the shore, off Father, Point, 150 miles1 rom Quebec, which the Empress of reland left the. afternoon bebre bouid for Liverpool. and 10 miles from this point on the St. Lawrence.
